Our history

The Manchester Community Mikvah was one of the first post war mikvas to be built in Europe.

In 1953 Dayan Y.Y Weiss z'l (Av Beis Din of Manchester Beis Din), Dayan Y Golditch z’l and the MBD led a campaign to revive the important Mitzvah of going to Mikvah (In halocho, building a Mikva comes before building a shul).

Eventually, after many months of planning and fundraising, the first community Mikvah opened on Tetlow Lane. To this day all the hiddurim and chumros as written in the famous 'Minchas Yitzchok' responsa of Dayan Weiss z’l have been kept intact at the Manchester Community Mikvah on Tetlow Lane.

The Tetlow Lane Mikvah has been the blueprint for many other Mikva’os in the world, all wanting to implement the hiddurim and chumros of Dayan Weiss z'l.

Following the departure of Dayan Weiss z'l, the Mikvah was entrusted to Dayan O Westheim z'l who for many years took great pride in upholding the standards laid out by Dayan Weiss z'l.

Boruch Hashem today we are blessed with an extremely dedicated Rabbinical Mikvah Committee including Horav Y.D.M Warfman Shlit’a and Horav E.P Levy Shlit’a who ensure that the Mikvah is Halachically sound & that any particular needs are met, with privacy and dignity.

Inside the Mikvah

A legacy of renewal and continuity

Our plans

With the astounding growth of the Manchester Community בע״ה, the number of Mikvah users is continuously rising.

The Tetlow Lane Mikvah is used by the full spectrum of the Manchester Kehilla, and cared for by the devoted team of Mikvah attendants.

The Mikvah has not been extensively refurbished, since its inception in 1953. The decor and facilities are in a state of deterioration and in urgent need of upgrading, to provide the whole community with a modern and pleasant facility that this special Mitzvah deserves.

The project is the result of two years of work to create a beautifully designed state of the art Mikvah, whilst safeguarding the design and structure that Dayan Weiss zt’l meticulously built.

Some of the features to be included

  • The reception area will be totally redesigned, creating a welcoming and ambient environment.
  • Each bathroom will be extended to provide a new luxurious dressing area.
  • All new tiles, floors, ceilings, doors and sanitary ware.
  • Complete electrical rewire, new lighting and air handling system
  • New automated booking system.

Dayan Weiss zt’l specified a unique Halachic and practical feature - each Mikvah has a directly connected bathroom, with no need to walk through corridors to reach a Mikvah

The project is expected to cost in the region of £750,000 ensuring long life and beauty.
